Bug Description
We attempted to run fwts in 14.04 pre-cert yesterday on a Server that boots via uEFI.
During the overnight test run, the test got as far as running fwts' uefirtvariable test. This test started and then just stuck with no progress, no output or anything.
I was able to recreate this manually using the cert suite's fwts_test wrapper like so:
fwts_test -t uefirtvariable
which just calls fwts and tells it to run that one test via python subprocess.
IN the end, we had to edit the test list to remove this test from begin run, all the other fwts batch tests we execute seem to run fine.

I think that this hang suggests that the UEFI run time service is jamming and not fwts per se.
